Marvel Studios’ Loki producer Kevin Wright has been a huge supporter of filmmakers Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead, as reported 9 hours ago by ComicBook.com. In fact, he was so thrilled when they landed the job of helming episodes on Moon Knight, that he worked quickly to have the two come into Marvel Studios HQ and speak with both he and Loki star and producer Tom Hiddleston. According to Wright, “Moon Knight, they were awesome on. I had met with Justin and Aaron before Loki season one after The Endless and I really, really liked them there, but Loki was kind of already getting moving and Kate [Herron] was on board. We were loving what she was doing and it was one of those, ‘Oh, got to keep those guys in mind for something else.'”
The duo initially got up for another project that never materialized, but they eventually found their way to Moon Knight, and in turn, Loki Season Two. “Then they went on the Moon Knight and it was like this really kind of full circle path of they were doing additional photography on Moon Knight and we had a number of scripts already ready to go on Loki and sent Kevin Feige to go recruit them off the set of Moon Knight and be like, ‘Hey, see if they want to come in and meet with Tom and I about Loki season two,'” Wright adds. “I think there was some trepidation of, ‘Do we want to come into a season two?,’ but they took the meeting thankfully with Tom and I, and we were able to convince them why we thought they’d be great for it, but we wanted them to change it up a little bit. There was no point in doing the same thing again.”
Loki Season 2, starring Tom Hiddleston as the titular God of Mischief and Owen Wilson as Mobius, is set to air on Disney+ on October 6th. After the events of Season 1, where his variant Sylvie killed He Who Remains and unleashed the wrath of Kang the Conqueror, Loki must once again embark on an adventure to keep reality from collapsing. The series will continue the story of the Multiverse Saga in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. With the addition of Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead, fans can expect a fresh take on the beloved character.
